anuary tends to get a bad rap. The decorations we put up with such merriment and glee are now a bit droopy, and frankly, kind of annoying. The holiday parties we hopped to, sipping wine and nibbling on seemingly innocent hors d’oeuvres, show up on the bathroom scale. The gifts we carefully chose for everyone from the dog to the kids are now just line items on the Amex bill. Yeah, as Winona Ryder told us back in 1994, reality bites. But—and this is a big but—there’s one really great thing about this month. It’s our opportunity to hit the reset button. By reset, I’m not talking complete overhaul. Chances are you’re pretty great already. I just mean simple tweaks we can make to live more mindful, healthy, happy lives. In “Be Well” (page 91), writer Malia Frame taps area experts for their thoughts on best practices, favorite products and little-known tips. And since “being well” is a holistic concept, she delves into every area of our lives, from the serious like disease prevention, fertility and nutrition to the more lighthearted like hair,

skin and nail trends. She even gets some advice for the little ones on stress management and proper sleep habits. In conjunction with this comprehensive guide, we’re excited to bring Malia’s words to life at our inaugural “Be Well” event on Tuesday, January 29 at Equinox Greenwich. It will be a day of beauty, health and fitness (see page 32 for more details). We hope to see you there. Every January we also like to offer up unique ideas for your 2019 travel calendar. In the past we’ve gone to the ends of the earth—literally—and found spectacularly unique experiences. In this issue, however, veteran travel writer Kim-Marie Evans takes a different tack. She pokes around nearby cities to unearth quirky hotels, experiences and restaurants that make close-to-home travel an exceptional journey (“Beyond City Limits,” page 108). Maybe, just maybe, Winona wasn’t right after all.

JANUARY 2019 / DONNA MOFFLY

The hospital was right out of Albert Schweitzer’s deepest darkest Africa
ever mind that it’s January and the flu bugs have regrouped for another round of winter nastiness. The daffodils will be here before you know it. Plus, there are worse things than being sick at home. You could be away from home— stricken with some malady or injury in a foreign field. But you’ve lived to tell some colorful tales. Washington, D.C.—I still remember being majorly embarrassed on an eighth-grade class trip to our nation’s capital. I hadn’t told my mother I was feeling lousy before I got on the train in Cleveland because she wouldn’t have let me go. I arrived in Washington with a roaring sinus infection and ended up in Georgetown Hospital for days waiting for the penicillin to work its magic and my poor mother to come get me. So, there I was the first morning sitting in bed on a bedpan when a handsome young priest paid a visit and hung around to chat. I was trapped on my throne. A thirteen-year-old’s idea of a nightmare, what? Port Antonio, Jamaica—On a trip to Dragon Bay with our young children and a bunch of Greenwich friends, I wiped out on a tennis court and tore ligaments in my left leg. The same afternoon, Ding Koehler jumped off a rock into the water with his flippers on to snorkel and tore ligaments in his right leg. So, it was off to the Port Antonio “hospital” in our rented VW Bug. Except it was a shift car, which the two cripples couldn’t drive, greenwichmag.com
16
Ding’s wife, Barbara, didn’t know how to work the gears, and my Jack was laid low with a 103-degree fever. But he drove us anyway. Ever the sport. The hospital was right out of Albert Schweitzer’s deepest, darkest Africa—no glass in the windows, chickens running around, blood on the cement floor, a primitive X-ray machine that sounded like a dishwasher, and a native “technician” who spoke in such a speedy patois that neither Ding nor I could understand a word she was saying. When we asked for crutches to get us home, we were told to have our kids cut down the branch of a tree. Oh, yes. And we weren’t meant to get the bandages wet for two weeks. But Ding went swimming anyway—with a garbage bag tied around his leg. It leaked, of course, the gauze unwrapped, and his leg took forever to heal. Rio Chico, Venezuela—Elena and Jonathan Moffly were on vacation with the Jeffrey Scott family when our grandson Misha, aged four, poked himself in the eye with a cardboard crown. The gents drove him to a local clinic, an ophthalmologist was called in, and, lo and behold, she turned out to be a former Miss Venezuela. Misha wasn’t impressed, but she was so gorgeous, the guys almost forgot what they’d come for. Kom Ombo, Egypt—It was January 2001, just after the inauguration of George W. Bush. Stricken with tourista, I was confined to my cabin on the good ship Sunboat III on the

founder’s letter Nile, with nothing to do but watch television and hear all about the terrible people who our next president was appointing to be in his cabinet. I’ve never felt more miserable—inside and out. On the plus side, I only missed seeing some mummified crocodiles that day. I also felt very well-protected. This was a couple of years after some German tourists were gunned down by terrorists at the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the Department of Tourism was taking no chances. So, running alongside us all the way up the river was a police boat with three cops and machine guns with full magazines mounted on both bow and stern. Tokyo, Japan—Jonathan was finishing up his MBA at Waseda University and to renew his visa had to leave the country and come back. So, he went to the Philippines, where he was bitten by mosquitos in a remote little village, came down with the dreaded dengue fever and ended up half-conscious laying across the gate at the airport to make sure he wouldn’t miss a flight out. The doctor at the hospital in Tokyo diagnosed it as a cold, gave him an aspirin and sent him back to his dorm; but a professor, realizing how sick he was, insisted he return to the hospital, where Jonathan demanded a blood test and was sent wandering around trying to find the lab. Finally, when the results came in, the doctor said “OMG, you better stay here.” Meanwhile, his Russian girlfriend Elena, age twenty-two, was suffering from a bad front tooth; but the Japanese dentist took care of it promptly. He just pulled it. Coco Point Lodge, Barbuda—My Jack, age eighty-eight, was helping launch a Sunfish for a race one Sunday, fell on the hard-packed sand and did something bad to his hip. He couldn’t put weight on it at all; but determined to hang in until our scheduled departure on Friday, he relied on crutches and Bill King wheeling him in for cocktails every night in an old, poorly balanced transport chair. Never mind that at dinner the first night, I looked at the other end of the table where Jack had been seated and nobody was there. He had fallen
over backwards in his funky chair. Blessedly he hadn’t gotten a concussion, too. Meanwhile, Ray and Denise, the wonderful managers of the resort, had improvised a special seat that fit into a helicopter, and five days later we lifted off the grass strip at Coco Point and arrived at the Antiqua airport for our flight to JFK. As an airline attendant pushed my husband along in a wheelchair, they passed a little kid being pushed along in a stroller; and Jack greeted him cheerfully with: “Hey, aren’t we lucky?!” Back in New York that night, our first stop was Greenwich Hospital for an X-ray. The doctor on duty was aghast with the report: Jack had broken his hip and lived with it for five days. This called for emergency surgery. Vero Beach, Florida—Two years later, 5:00 Saturday night—same guy, same hip. This time, as house guests of Sandy Herman, we were sunning by a pool at John’s Island. Jack stood up too fast, got spots in front of his eyes, fainted and fell hard on the cement paving. When the EMTs arrived, he looked up and announced: “I am NOT going to the hospital.” “Actually no, you’re not,” they agreed, “because we just got a call that there’s a man with a gun threatening to shoot it up in the E.R.” Long story short: After driving all over Vero trying to find a clinic still open at that hour with an X-ray machine, we learned, yes, the hip was broken but in a place that didn’t require surgery, our hostess and JetBlue were fabulous, and we got home to ONS. Vail, Colorado—Our friend Sheila Mossman walked down a whole mountain with a broken ankle in the summer of ’17. She had decided to treat her son’s girlfriend, Kelly, to a bike ride through Glenwood Canyon followed by a side hike to Hanging Lake. Since Kelly was a bit nervous about the trails, which are steep, rocky and take an hour to climb if you’re in shape, Sheila brought along hiking poles for her. They got to the top with its view of the beautiful turquoise mountain lake and Spouting Rock waterfall, but a quarter of the greenwichmag.com
18
way back down, Sheila’s right foot slipped out from under her and she fell hard on her left side. This was more than a simple ankle twist; the pain was too horrible. Calling for help wasn’t much of an option, since there was no cell phone signal that high on the trail. Plus, Sheila knew that the Glenwood Springs EMS was always overwhelmed with calls from Hanging Lake trail, and it could take five hours for them to drive to the trailhead, hike in with their equipment and get her down to civilization. So, using the hiking poles as crutches, she toughed it out to the bottom. The bike rental shop came to their rescue and drove them to the hospital, where she was told she had a displaced fracture of her left fibula. But a year and two surgeries later, she was back to normal and on her way to hike Machu Picchu in Peru last fall. Moscow, Russia—No. 1 grandson, Misha Moffly, was born there on September 1, 1996. Of course, this was planned, since his mother, our wonderful Elena, is a Muscovite by birth and didn’t want him born in Japan, where they were living. In Russia, when you’re due, it’s customary to just go to the nearest birthing center. Of course, Jonathan wanted to be in on the delivery, which was decidedly not customary; so, they found a doctor who agreed to deliver the baby, but Lena would have to be induced because in two days his hospital was closing for a month of cleaning (also customary every summer). Jonathan then had to pay to have for a costly battery of tests—including a chest X-ray and all kinds of bloodwork—before he was cleared. (The only other father-to-be in attendance was a German gentleman who fainted.) After the birth, visitors aren’t allowed. New mothers can enjoy five to seven days convalescing in peace, waving to their friends and relations from the window. Now, there’s a medical custom that makes the Old Country look pretty good. But in the main, it’s better to get sick, battered or bruised right here at home and cared for where docs really are tops. G

Sheena performing at this year’s Operation Smile benefit at Belle Haven
’80S FLASHBACK S heena Easton, a pop music icon of the ’80s and ’90s, grew up in a small town in Scotland, the youngest of her widowed mother’s six children. After being introduced to British television audiences in a documentary about aspiring recording artists, she went on to become a two-time Grammy-winning international recording artist known for hits such as the

catchy “Morning Train” the sexy club tune “Strut,” and the soaring James Bond ballad “For Your Eyes Only.” Still a prolific and versatile performer, the Las Vegas resident and mother of two adult children was the featured entertainer in November at Smile Greenwich, a benefit for the nonprofit Operation Smile at the Belle Haven Yacht Club. We caught up with Easton in anticipation of that event.

this benefit meaningful to you? SE: The smile is the first thing people see in a child. Kids today feel so much pressure to be accepted; but when you have a facial deformity, finding that acceptance can be not only difficult, but also really emotionally and physically painful. Operation Smile fixes those barriers and, as a result, it changes lives. I am honored to be part of this celebration.

GM: As a young, aspiring singer, you were featured on the British documentary Big Time, and a record producer predicted you weren’t going to make it. How did you overcome that rejection?
GM: I’m not sure everyone who’s a fan of your musical career appreciates how much acting and stage work you’ve done.
SE: I don’t think I really cared. I thought, Well, that’s your opinion, but I’m still going to do this anyway. For anyone starting out, whether it’s an athlete or an artist, you have to think you’re going to make it. What drove me was my absolute utter love for music and performing.

LET’S GET REAL YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT THE “REAL ID” YOU’LL NEED IN ORDER TO FLY DOMESTICALLY. BUT IF YOU’RE LIKE MOST OF US, YOU DON’T REALLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS. HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Any form of identification that meets federal security standards. It used to be that a regular license fell into this category. That’s about to change. Travelers will soon need to present a Real ID, or a verified driver’s license, in order to fly domestically. To obtain a Real ID driver’s license, you must present enhanced identity verification when renewing your license: there is also an additional fee. Does this mean you need to rush out to the DMV? No. In fact, you can only renew your license a maximum of sixty days in advance of its expiration. The new law applies to non-verified licenses issued after October 2020. The TSA will continue to accept your non-verified until it expires.
Why the change? Based on recommendations from the 9/11 Commission, the U.S. government passed a law requiring a higher standard of identification for all air travelers.
What identity verification do I need to provide for a compliant license? Download the Real ID document checklist at ct.gov/dmv. If you do not have your birth certificate or a current passport (one of which must be presented in addition to secondary documentation), you can order a copy of your birth certificate from the city where you were born. Passport services are offered at most post offices. Download the forms at travel.state.gov and make an appointment at the post office. It’s that easy. The DMV will not accept photocopies, noncertified copies or damaged documents.
How can I tell if my driver’s license is a Real ID? If it qualifies, there will be a star on the top right corner. Do I have to get a Real ID license? No. You can renew a license that allows you to drive, but it will not be sufficient identification to fly. Should you choose that option, you can use an alternative form of Real ID at the airport.

LOOK MA, NO HANDS CADILLAC’S SUPER CRUISE OPTION IS A HIGHWAY WONDER
The major safety factor here is that the car is, in a sense, watching you, too. Cameras detect whether your eyes are shut or diverted for more than five seconds; if so, the system warns you to pay attention. Even the seat will buzz your fanny. If it senses you have lost interest, it will park and disengage. So, no texting or doing crossword puzzles. When you override Super Cruise and just start driving, you will find the CT6 handles beautifully and offers adultstrength luxury, too. Super Cruise will be available in all Cadillacs
is not here, and likely never will be. But on the new high-end Cadillacs equipped with Super Cruise, you can put it in a highway lane, take your hands off the wheel, and motor through hours of relaxed travel while Cadillac’s computers and sensors speed up, slow down or slam on the brakes, if required. All it demands is a divided-lane highway. A Cadillac owner we know commutes daily between Greenwich and Fairfield during rush hour; he can’t live without Super Cruise now. “I catch up on my phone calls. I use it exclusively now.”

MERRY POTTER
CERAMICS AND STYLE WITH DESIGN WIZARD JONATHAN ADLER How did you start doing pottery?
Summer camp. Twelve years old. I touched clay and it was on. My poor parents thought they were going to have some sporty athlete combined with a great intellect and they ended up encumbered by a devoted potter. What’s your favorite thing about being a potter?
“S
mile, you’re home” is the tag line for Jonathan Adler’s Now House line, a new collaboration with Amazon selling furniture, rugs, bedding and décor. And it’s impossible not to smile when entering a Jonathan Adler space, marked as it is by bold colors, graphic patterns and whimsical accessories. (You’ll find everything from needlepoint pillows embroidered with Bestie/ Worstie to giant acrylic pills). Although he’s come a long way since discovering his love for pottery as a young boy— the brand boasts over twenty stores worldwide, in addition to residential and commercial projects—Adler remains true to his vision of creating a world filled with delights both eclectic and elegant, irreverent and glamorous. We sat down at his Greenwich store to hear more from Adler about his inspiration, evolution and the best new workout that no
above: Facet tray ($18), Club Cloud chair ($598) and Edie rug (starting at $64), all from Adler’s Now House collection. below: Reform credenza ($6,500)
Do you ever have ideas that don’t pan out?
I’d say for everything you see here, there are probably twenty aborted attempts. I only let something enter my world as an official JA product if I feel that it’s something your heirs will fight over. That’s my standard.
Guilty pleasure?
I have no guilt.
How does New York inspire you?
How do you do that?
New York is like my muse, lover, tormentor, enemy, frenemy. It’s madness, it’s like constant stimulus overdrive. And I love/hate it.
I don’t do anything that bad, so that helps. Being a clean-living old married bore is very helpful in that regard.
What do you love about coming to Greenwich?
Have you always been into clean living?
Greenwich is a singular place that captures the spirit of modern American glamour that I try to put into my work. That waspy-chic vibe is one of my great inspirations.
Yes. If you were to pore over my oeuvre you would think you were entering the mind of a total louche hedonist, but it’s not true. I get my hedonism out vicariously through my work. But as for

guilty pleasures, I manage to find the time to watch an awful lot of television.

Do you have a favorite piece right now?
My favorite is always the last thing I made. Right now it’s the Reform credenza, which I’m kind of obsessed with. Dream project?
I say this every time I get asked this question and nobody seems to be listening, but I just want to design a car.

When I was a full-time potter, I was in such great shape. It’s such great exercise. I see these rich ladies in parking lots flipping tires, and I think, you guys are insane. You should just become potters and you’ll be ripped. Bag the tire, become a potter.

What does “Be Well” mean to you? It means a combination of being active, eating right, and practicing self care in order to achieve optimal results in any endeavor you choose to pursue.
What does “Be Well” mean to you? It means being mindful about what you put in and on your body. It means loving yourself for being perfectly imperfect. It means being up for change when it’s needed, and okay with those moments when you just need to be present. Being well is really an overall mind, body and soul approach for me.
What’s on the horizon? I see the fitness industry shifting towards incorporating more regenerative aspects into daily routines. Meditation has become very popular, and I don’t see that changing any time soon. Favorite “guilty” pleasure? Eating cereal for dinner—so easy and simple!
DR. STEVEN KOLENIK ctdermgroup.com
What does “Be Well” mean to you? To me it means avoiding disease by practicing prevention. This is no more true than in dermatology where changing our behaviors to include sun avoidance, proper use of sunscreen, sunprotective clothing and regular full body skin exams can eliminate most skin cancers.
What’s on the horizon? Clean skincare is not a fad. It’s the new standard. Ingredient technology isn’t what it was ten years ago when I started, or even five years ago. We’re seeing a movement that is here to stay.
What’s on the horizon? Immunotherapy for melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer is a game changer. It will dramatically change how we treat advanced skin cancer and greatly improve survival rates. Noninvasive techniques for diagnosing skin cancer are also emerging, including imaging techniques that look beneath the skin to make a diagnosis as well as noninvasive techniques that involve wiping the skin to obtain RNA, which can predict if a lesion is cancerous.
Favorite “guilty” pleasure? A good single malt scotch

JAAFAR TAZI
JAAFAR TAZI SALON jaafartazi.com What does “Be Well” mean to you? I think we all have a different idea of our recipe for “being well.” I would define it as a state of complete balance between health, family, friends, spirituality, work and contributions to the community. What’s on the horizon? In addition to our Greenwich salon, we are now in New Canaan. The hair industry has become increasingly complex and competitive. To succeed you have to create a culture of wellness and excellence and push the boundaries of mastering advanced skills. Favorite “guilty” pleasure? There is no guilt when it comes to pleasure.
CITARELLA
JOE GURRERA citarella.com What does “Be Well” mean to you? For me, “Be Well” means eating well. I have a simple and direct approach to cooking. Because I eat simply, I eat clean by default. Many of the recipes in my cookbook, Joe Knows Fish allow nature’s original flavors to come through. What’s on the horizon? Healthy eating is a focus for our customers. In Greenwich, we are bringing them more natural and organic items in our produce, dairy and grocery departments. Favorite “guilty” pleasure? Pasta! One of my favorite recipes from my book is Spaghetti Vongole. It’s easy to make and a real crowd pleaser. But like most people, I try not to eat carbs. Some of my best recipes come from trying to avoid pasta, like my Brodetto and Surf and Turf.
Favorite “guilty” pleasure? Cookie butter ice cream from Milkcraft in Fairfield

GOOD HAIR DAYS JUST GOT EASIER. PAULO LANFREDI SALON OPENS ITS DOORS ON THE AVENUE
Style 411
1
PROTECT YOUR LOCKS One of the keys to avoiding breakage is to keep the hair from drying out. Paulo recommends at-home moisture treatments from Oribe, such as Gold Lust for blondes and Conditioner for Beautiful Hair for any color.

COMB IN SHINE
Use a carbon-fiber comb to hold the hair, and blow-dry at an angle. A few simple strokes of the comb will add shine without needing any product.
H
airstyles come and go, but people will always want full, healthy hair. At Paulo Lanfredi’s new salon on the Avenue, he uses a distinctive technique to achieve that goal. “Shiny, pretty hair is a trend that never goes away,” says Paulo, who developed his two-pronged approach over many years in the business, most recently with Frederic Fekkai in Greenwich and New York. His special cuts blend methods he learned from Vidal Sassoon and Jacques Dessange. First, he plans the shape for a style that’s tailored to your face and body
and cuts your hair. Then he addresses the under layer of the hair, where split and damaged ends prevent hair from growing. He carefully trims them so they can catch up to the rest of the head. If you don’t do this, he says, “it’s like fixing the outside of the car and not dealing with what’s underneath in the engine.” The process he says can improve the volume of the hair by up to 50 percent and it has earned him clients from all over the country, from Boston to California and all around the tristate area. He also works with some clients to recommend
supplements and treatments for hair loss. His cuts are designed to make hair care simple. “When the cut is done right and it’s proportional to your body type, it’s very easy to do your hair and maintain it,” he says. Joining Paulo and his team is color pro Patrick Prinzo, who heads up the color side of the salon, along with Lindsay Potter, who was previously with Fekkai. Patrick specializes in balayage, the freehand painting of color for custom highlights that optimize each client’s individual cut. Along with color and styling, the salon also offers full makeup services.

BRUSH UP
Not all brushes are created equal. To avoid breaking the delicate hair that frames the face, Paulo prefers smaller brushes with a porcelain or ceramic base, which also help to eliminate frizzing.
4
EXTEND YOUR COLOR
During the warmer months, spritz your head with an oil-free facial SPF. This helps to keep the color from getting brassy and fading in the sun. 401 Greenwich Avenue, 203-900-1221; paulolanfredi.com

Foodies took pilgrimages to his

Today, Chang has settled down, operating eleven eponymous restaurants in Virginia and Maryland, including Q By Peter Chang in Bethesda.

eat was serving families, couples and groups of friends, many of them Asian. We observed servers delivering Peter Chang classics like scallion bubble bread, a big puffed ball of poori, which a family joyfully tore into, dipping pieces of it into cumin sauce. Another waiter carried an appetizer that might be mistaken for a pile of French fries dusted in Szechuan red peppercorns and showered with whole dried red chili peppers. Instead, the outside crispness gives way to the appealing soft texture and flavor of eggplant, spiked by heat. The friendly servers and managers, eager to guide us through the menu, immediately asked about our heat tolerance—we like it. (For those who prefer milder preparations, there are nonspicy dishes on the menu like Furong chicken hot pot, velvet-textured chicken paired with tomatoes, mushrooms and snow peas.) The bartender, too, said he’d make me any drink. (The bar menu wasn’t set yet.) He shook up a delicious spicy margarita, a fine drink to sip as we sat in a well-lit, comfortable upholstered booth, pouring over the colorful binder of a menu replete with helpful pictures. Great news: Peter Chang’s makes the noodles, dumpling skins and pancakes in-house. Soup dumplings come in individual spoon/cups filled with clear liquid and a pork dumpling with pinched spiral sides crowned by a goji berry. “Drink the soup first,” said our server. The broth was an exquisite essence of chicken, and the dumpling was delicate, too, while the goji berry added a touch of tart. Undoubtedly, these are a must-order and are good for sharing. Some further intel: Shrimp and vegetable dumplings can be ordered steamed or fried, but the lightness of the wrappers makes the more healthful steamed ones irresistible. The Thousand Layer Veggie Roll is a traditional dish, our server told us. We’re glad we listened: The fried rolls, with contrasting layers of crisp bean curd skin, smooth taro root purée and soft lotus root, were showered with fried red chili peppers, fresh scallion and cilantro.

Beggar’s Ribs, fall-offthe-bone meat in a brown sauce flecked with red chili peppers and spices, paired with potatoes
This dish proves that vegetarian can be exciting. The entrée that stayed in my mind for days afterwards was the prawns with vermicelli noodles, a brightly flavored confetti of red pickled chili peppers and minced scallions over big, pink butterflied prawns, cooked just right. A base of clear bean thread noodles absorbed flavors of fresh ginger and the sea that were all enveloped in a touch of heat. Peking duck is a star of Peter Chang’s menu, and it’s fun, too. Our server showed us how to assemble it by first peeling off the thinnest, lightest, almost see-through pancakes we’d ever seen from a stack in a steamer. She then placed julienned leeks and sliced cucumber on each pancake, added a slice of rich, tender roasted duck and a piece of crisp skin (from which the interior layer of fat had been removed). She drizzled two sauces over the filling: Rose petal sauce, a balanced floral with the sweet earthiness of pureed beets, and traditional hoisin sauce that added a sweet umami flavor. We rolled our pancakes and with each bite, took in a bundle of flavors and textures—fresh, cool, sharp, rich, meaty, crisp, sweet, earthy and umami—all bound by the lovely tender pancake. Beggar’s Ribs are fit for a king. A meat-andpotato-loving king. Potatoes, you ask? Yes, as it is another example of how Chang incorporates other culinary customs into his cuisine.

“Beggar’s” refers to a traditional chicken dish cooked in a clay pot. Here, ribs are coated in brown sauce flecked with red chili peppers and spices that blended into mysterious layers of flavor. The meat lifted easily from the bones. Potatoes were boldly dashed with black pepper. This is a hearty, winter dish. The ultimate test of any restaurant is WICB (will I come back?). The answer is absolutely. There’s so much more to explore on Peter Chang’s menu. I’ve got a friend who is going back for the Shan City pigs’ feet. No kidding. I’m going back to try the whole fish (presented off the bone), and the fresh lily dan dan noodles. On a cold winter day, Peter Chang’s calls out for warming up over a big bowl of a traditional sour cabbage soup. Yet as much as I want to explore, I won’t resist ordering dumplings, prawns with vermicelli and the Peking duck again and again.

CAVA FROM SPAIN—
THE PERFECT BUBBLY FOR A WINTER FEAST
W
ith the holidays behind us, you might be tempted to save your remaining bottles for a later celebration. But we are of the firm belief that any occasion is made better paired with fizzy wine. Here’s the thing: Cava, the sparkling wine of Spain, is now poised to flourish (shipments to the U.S. grew 24 percent between 2012 and 2016). It is an affordable, cheerful alternative to expensive Champagne and sweet prosecco. Also, smaller estates are making higher quality, longer-aged cavas with more structure and complexity. We hear the best-selling cava in local shops is Segura Viudas brut reserva, about $10 a bottle, which is fine for a winter pink grapefruit mimosa. “But for a price point of $15 to $20, cava competes with a $30 to $40 bottle of non-vintage Champagne,” says Lance Anderson, national sales director of Highland Imports in Shelton, which provides artisan, private label and small-batch wines to shops in Fairfield County. Time to stock up! Oliver MacKinnon, owner of Highland Imports, says you’ll find great selections at Harry’s Wine & Liquor in Fairfield, Kindred Spirits in Westport and Fairfield, Val’s Putnam Wines in Greenwich and Harbor Point Wine & Spirits in Stamford.
LABEL LINGO A brief glossary of cava terms BLANC DE NOIR Blended with pinot noir grapes
BRUT NATURE Driest style of cava. Progressing sweetness levels are: extra brut, brut, extra seco, seco semi-seco and dulce (the sweetest).
CAVA DE PARAJE CALIFICADO Top classification for cava: Must be from a single vineyard, from vines ten years or older, aged on the lees at least thirty-six months.
GRAN RESERVA Aged thirty months
LEES Yeast remaining in the bottle after second fermentation
MÉTODO TRADICIONAL Secondary fermentation in the bottle

CARE & COMPASSION ALZHEIMER’S IS HITTING CLOSER TO HOME NOW MORE THAN EVER— EVERY SIXTY-FIVE SECONDS SOMEONE DEVELOPS THE DISEASE. HERE’S WHERE TO TURN AND HOW TO TALK TO YOUR KIDS IF YOUR FAMILY IS WAGING THE BATTLE
Where to Start Establishing a dialogue with children about growing older can demystify the disease. Here are a few steps we can all take to support those living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias. A simple thing we can do is give the gift of patience. Whether having a conversation with Grandma or waiting in line behind someone elderly, give them the time they need. Donna Spellman, executive director of RiverHouse Adult Day Care Center, says to pause for twenty seconds to experience how that time span feels. That is often how long it takes for someone with dementia to find the right word or their train of thought.
Focus on the Present Though someone may not clearly recall what happened that morning, they may remember with crystal clarity something that
happened decades ago. They may repeat the same story or mistake a grandchild for a parent. Remind children that even when the memory misfires, emotional memory often remains intact and people can enjoy the feeling of being with loved ones even when they can no longer remember specifics. Suggest to children that instead of pointing out that they’ve already heard a story, pause and be patient and focus on the present moment not the topic.
Exposure Children who only spend time with older relatives during holidays or on yearly visits may be more sensitive to the changes they see. If older relatives
(standing) Robin Carey, Katey O’Leary, Eileen Bartels; (seated) Sarah Keller, Nicole Hadley and Paige Montinaro at Riverside Yacht Club
don’t live nearby, consider getting your children involved in cross-generational volunteer opportunities. For the past four holiday seasons, students with the Junior Ensemble Tour of Open Arts Alliance
(openartsalliance .com) have visited RiverHouse Adult Day Care Center, Waveny LifeCare Network in New Canaan, Nathaniel Witherell and Greenwich Woods Health Care Center. “Open Arts Alliance

utilizes performing arts techniques as a therapeutic means of fostering intergenerational volunteerism,” says Executive Director Rocco Natale. The performers range in age from eight to eighteen, and
for many, this is their first time working with senior citizens. Rocco adds: “For many young people, working with the aging adult population can be a scary task, so we spend a lot of time in rehearsal discussing

Take 20
volunteerism with the kids and what they can expect from the elder members of our community. The motivation is really to demystify what it means to be a senior citizen. The seniors are in awe of the way the kids can sing and dance, and the kids love how much joy their performances bring to the senior citizens.”
Make a Date Many parents feel sandwiched between taking care of their children and their aging parents. Children can feel the pinch, too. Having a mom or dad suddenly focus on a grandparent can cause resentment. Look for ways to carve out alone time with your children.
You Are Not Alone Fortunately for Greenwich residents, there are a number of places to go for support when tackling this tough topic. Donna Spellman points out that by keeping in step with our population, Greenwich is striving to be an aging- and dementiafriendly community. Whether you’re looking for support services or want to learn more about dementia and Alzheimer’s, these local resources are here for you.

uperlatives come easy when you ease through John’s Island. It was designed that way. The development ranges over 1,650 phenomenal acres in the barrier islands just north of Vero Beach, Florida, in the community of Indian River Shores. Want a good view? Between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, there are majestic views aplenty. Activities? For golfers, John’s Island is an unmatched paradise. The designers of these green pieces of heaven (Pete Dye, Tom Fazio and Jack Nicklaus) are justifiably famous for creating unforgettable courses. After carving out some awesome 5-irons on these fairways (or boating, playing tennis or just wandering the three miles of private beach), you’ll need to eat. Here again John’s Island does not stint. Great chefs tend the fine restaurants on site as well as the intimate clubhouses. Many residents are so taken by John’s Island, they’ve made it a year-round home. The quiet streets are very safe for children. (Security is, of
Dataw Island
course, top notch.) The real estate options are plentiful, whether it’s for castle or condominium. For more information call 772.231.0900 or visit JohnsIslandRealEstate.com. Another tremendous location for golf and good living is the Sea Islands region on the South Carolina coast. Hilton Head might have made the area famous, but folks who prefer it a touch quieter have gravitated to Dataw Island, an antebellum charmer blessed by glorious sea air and water views. With its walkways, the striking clubhouse and more than thirty social clubs, Dataw Island is designed to promote neighborly engagement. The tennis club, the Fitness Center and the marina all create places to meet up. Then there is the glory of the two golf courses. Architects Tom Fazio and Arthur Hills combined heart-melting beauty and fun playability in their designs. Call 843.838.3838 for information on Dataw Island or visit dataw.com.

eoff and Leslie initially met as toddlers when they shared the same babysitter. While the two ended up going to different elementary schools, they met again at Eastern Middle School. They became fast best friends until the summer before their senior year of college, when a summer romance turned into the foundation of a lifelong partnership. The couple dated for over five years before becoming engaged. While on their way to a family Christmas party, Geoff suggested a walk through Binney Park, where the two had had playdates as little ones and many picnic dates since then. Geoff popped the question and Leslie instantly said yes. (Geoff hired a professional photographer to capture the special moment.) The bride’s aunt Elissa Baum officiated at the ceremony at Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown, New York, where the reception followed. Leslie wore her late mother’s wedding dress, which had been updated by fashion designer Katie Fong, a Greenwich childhood friend. The bride, daughter of the late Penny Andriani and Rudy Andriani of New Jersey, graduated from Greenwich High School, Duke University and Georgetown University School of Medicine. Leslie is an OBGYN at NYU Langone Health in New York. The groom, son of Gary and Judith Kalan of Stamford, graduated from Greenwich High School, Middlebury College and Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Geoff works in investment banking in New York. The newlyweds honeymooned in Portugal before returning home to New York. »

s in many great love stories, Claire and Erik met at the completely wrong time. Erik had just arrived in Nashville for a new job, and Claire was preparing to leave for a new job in Chicago. They were introduced by friends in downtown Nashville at the iconic bluegrass bar, Station Inn, and felt an immediate connection. Soon after, Erik spontaneously drove eight hours to Chicago to take Claire to dinner—launching a long-distance relationship. Three years into dating, Erik proposed along the Chicago Lakeshore. The newly engaged couple was joined by their parents, siblings, and local friends for a celebratory dinner party. The ceremony was held at Bloomsbury Farm, a working organic farm outside of Nashville, and officiated by Ken Snell, the preacher and family friend who married Claire’s parents thirty-five years earlier. A reception followed. The bride, daughter of John and Lisa Curtis of Chattanooga, Tennessee, graduated from Girls Preparatory School and Vanderbilt University. Claire works in marketing for Square Inc., a financial technology company in San Francisco. The groom, son of Karl and Elaine Baryn Spangenberg of Greenwich, graduated from Brunswick School, Wake Forest University and Wake Forest Graduate School of Business. Erik is the product manager for StudioNow, an online video production company in San Francisco. The newlyweds honeymooned in Italy from Lake Como to the Amalfi Coast. They call San Francisco home. G

Top Doctors 2019 SPECIAL PROFILE LYNNE M. HAVEN, MD, PC 49 Lake Avenue Greenwich, CT 203.869.4242 LynneHavenMD.com
DR. LYNNE HAVEN IS A BOARD CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGIST in Greenwich who specializes in cosmetic dermatology and laser treatments. Dr. Haven graduated from Harvard University and received her medical degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. She completed her internship at Massachusetts General Hospital and her dermatology residency at New York University. Dr. Haven strives to provide state-of-the-art skin and laser treatments in a warm, caring environment. She offers Botox, injectable fillers, and Thermage for noninvasive skin tightening. In addition, she offers revolutionary body contouring technology, including CoolSculpting. According to Allergan, Dr. Haven is the No. 1 Botox provider in Greenwich, and she personally performs 100 percent of all Botox and filler treatments. Dr. Haven was selected as one of America’s Top Dermatologists. Dr. Haven offers two new ways to treat a double chin, Kybella and CoolSculpt Mini. Another exciting offering is Volbella, a new injectible filler for smoother, softer, natural looking lips. Dr. Lynne Haven uses the revolutionary PicoSure for laser tattoo removal, acne scarring, brown spots and facial rejuvenation. Dr. Haven says, “The PicoSure is by far the best tattoo removal laser. Typically, tattoos can be treated with the PicoSure in half the number of treatments compared to other lasers.” Her patients are also excited by the results of the PicoSure Focus laser for facial rejuvenation, which can dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines,
wrinkles, acne scars and skin discoloration. It improves skin texture and is safe for all skin types. The latest generation in fractional laser skin resurfacing, the PicoSure Focus offers a safe and effective treatment, which is typically fast, with less discomfort and shorter duration of redness than other resurfacing options. Dr. Haven believes in designing an individualized antiaging treatment plan for each patient to ensure desirable results. With a focus on noninvasive rejuvenation, Dr. Haven helps her patients look younger and more radiant. Her expertise gained from working in private practice for more than eighteen years allows her to customize each treatment session to offer optimal results to every patient.

Top Doctors 2019 SPECIAL PROFILE DR. SARAH DOLDER
Greenwich Point Dermatology 644 West Putnam Avenue Greenwich, CT 203.764.2230 greenwichpointdermatology.com
SARAH DOLDER, MD, started Greenwich Point Dermatology after spending twelve years building a career in New York City, but her love for dermatology began as a young girl in sunny Australia—a place where zinc noses and broadbrimmed hats are part of the school uniform. She attended the University of Melbourne, earning her Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery with Honors. She also completed her Bachelor of Medical Science at the University of Cambridge, UK. After moving to New York, Dr. Dolder completed her residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Today, she is a board-certified dermatologist and instructor of clinical dermatology at Columbia University. Dr. Dolder is dedicated to excellence in comprehensive dermatological care, with a specific focus on acne and other inflammatory skin conditions, skin cancer and cosmetic dermatology. She provides exceptional expertise in all facets of aesthetic enhancement, including Botox, fillers and laser and resurfacing treatments. “I believe that with modern science and technology, no one should endure an uncomfortable or damaging dermatological condition. My passion for delivering remarkable changes in the confidence and well-being of patients drives everything I do. I love my work, and I love what my work can do for my patients,” Dr. Dolder says. Dr. Dolder has spent her career exploring advanced science and how lifestyle influences overall skin health.
Her clinical philosophy is best summarized as “more than skin deep” and she loves
to share her insights with patients during their visits and through The Brilliant Blog —a resource on her website that celebrates the connection between our overall wellness and appearance. Opened in 2015, Greenwich Point Dermatology proudly delivers individualized patient care, covering medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology. With a fiercely loyal and evergrowing client list, Dr. Dolder is expanding, opening a beautiful new dermatology boutique in the winter of 2019 right off Greenwich Avenue. Dr. Dolder says, “Dedicated skin care is essential to aging gracefully, so by opening near the Avenue [above the Saks Shoe Store], I hope to make my patients’ dermatology visits part of their lifestyle, part of their routine.” The new space will feature private nooks for pretreatment prep, state-of-the-art exam rooms and an Australian beauty boutique. Skin care can be intimidating, but Dr. Dolder hopes to create a unique and inviting experience for her patients. “Greenwich is home to many busy and sophisticated men and women looking for exceptional care, so I am excited to serve them in a convenient location.” When she is not caring for her patients, Dr. Dolder relishes her time with her husband and three children.

Although the general population hasn’t always subscribed to this mantra, increased injuries, a rise in chronic disease, and a feeling of general exhaustion are causing many of us to take a second look at how we take care of ourselves.

IMPROVED FITNESS
MIX IT UP M
ake sure you ease into any kind of new fitness routine,” says SUZANNE PALAZZO, owner and director of Upper Deck Fitness in Stamford and Westport. Set realistic goals. Otherwise you’re likely to feel defeated. “At Upper Deck, our philosophy is prescribed fitness and variety of workouts,” she explains, noting the classes are color coded by intensity, so you can balance your regimen and not overdo it. “People tend to gravitate towards workouts they enjoy and do them repeatedly, but over time [that can lead to] issues with repetitive use and joints and muscles suffering from too much wear and tear.” The body then becomes imbalanced, which can lead to injury. “People usually only go to low-impact or recovery workouts once they’ve been hurt, but mobility work is [also] critical to injury prevention,” she says. Here’s Palazzo’s fitness prescription for the new year:
“
ALTERNATE HIGH WITH LOW High-intensity workouts are popular, but they can cause inflammation in joints and muscles when you’re not properly balanced. The rigor of this type of exercise is encouraged only if you give your body proper time to recover. It’s best to alternate days of high- and low-impact exercise and devote only two to three days a week to high intensity workouts.
TAKE A BREAK “One of the ways we get stronger is that exercise creates micro tears in our muscles,”
explains Palazzo. If we allow these to heal properly, the muscle becomes stronger, but if you overdo it, swelling and joint pain may occur. Giving yourself a “down day” of barre, Pilates, walking, swimming or another recovery exercise in between high impact classes allows muscles adequate time to heal.
REST PURPOSEFULLY Don’t take two days off in a row, advises Palazzo, because the off-day best serves its purpose when sandwiched in between other workouts. “Realize that less can be more,

STRETCH IT OUT With the new year comes a pledge to improved fitness. We hit the ground running, but are we physically prepared? “The new year should be about [awareness] of your body, its capabilities, its weaknesses,” says Michael Eaton, stretch therapist and assistant studio manager at LYMBR in Darien. LYMBR’s sessions take you through a series of progressive dynamic stretches that offer benefits that will help you relax and stick to your 2019 goals. These include:
and that the ‘no pain, no gain’ mentality has to go. Your body is the boss, so listen to it and don’t just push through the aches and pains.”
FOCUS ON CORE “Your core, a group of several muscles in the lower back, stomach and hips, is what generates power to the body,” she says. “When it’s strong and stable, your posture improves, you move freely and safely, you alleviate stress on other joints, and your spine doesn’t absorb all the pressure it normally does when driving or sitting at a desk.”

t’s true that the inner body may need a detox after the holidays, and the same is true for the skin,” says SIOBHAN MCKINLEY, owner of Organachs Farm to Skin in Westport. She recommends starting 2019 with the healthy habit of dry brushing several times a week. Before getting into a hot shower, use a dry brush like Voya’s Cactus-Bristle Exfoliating Body Brush and brush upwards in a circular motion from the feet to the heart. This will improve circulation, she says, get rid of dead skin cells and prime skin for moisturizing. Dry brushing also stimulates the body’s lymphatic drainage system, which helps rid the body of toxins. Next, use a granular body scrub with essential oils to hydrate skin and improve texture. McKinley likes Bath Soak and Scrub by Kanya, made of Dead Sea salts, Epsom salts, shea butter and lavender oil.

CLEANSE DAILY Rather than stripping your face of its protective oils and healthy bacteria, Sherwood recommends an oilbased cleanser at night. She loves Tata Harper’s Nourishing Oil Cleanser, which removes eye makeup in a flash. If you prefer an oil-free cleanser, try Tata’s Regenerating Cleanser, which smells like a delicious mix of berries and flowers.
ften lost in the shuffle of good intentions is detoxifying your personal care and cleaning products. The new year is a great time, though, to rid your routine of products that contain harmful ingredients and try an eco-based alternative. “Green products, especially makeup and skincare, are really high quality and perform beautifully, says RHONDA SHERWOOD, whose new natural beauty store Sherwood Green Life opened recently in Greenwich. The beauty products in her store are plant-based, free of petroleum-based ingredients and nourishing to your skin. “We’re like scientific detectives, constantly researching product ingredients to make sure they aren’t harsh, allergenic or harmful to people, especially pregnant moms and their unborn babies,” she says. Sherwood recommends these swaps to achieve the most noticeable positive effects.
CHOOSE ORGANIC Choose a shampoo with plant-based ingredients. Conventional shampoos contain phthalates (a hormone disruptor that can also cause allergic reactions and headaches) and sulfates like sodium laureth sulfate/SLS, which are harsh and irritating. Some of Sherwood’s favorites are Rahua Classic or Rahua Voluminous Shampoo, and Rahua Classic Conditioner, which contain rahua oil.
DITCH THE DEODORANT “Your lymph nodes are next to your armpits, so this is one of the most important clean product swaps you can make,” says Sherwood, who notes it may take time to find the right one for you. She suggests: Ursa Major’s Hoppin’ Fresh Deodorant, which contains baking soda; Meow Meow Tweet Deodorant Stick, for those who are sensitive to baking soda; and charcoal-based Takesumi Detox Deodorant by Kaia Naturals, made from essential oils.

According to Ingraham, the saunas at Inner Light provide heat therapy intended to help relax and detoxify the body. When all wellness experts tell us we need to find ways to cope with stress, perhaps an Inner Light session is in order for 2019. According to Ingraham, benefits include:
“
DETOX AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL Infrared light, a wavelength that is perceived as heat by the body, not only feels great when it’s cold outside. It also penetrates the body up to three inches—much deeper than traditional saunas—to make your skin glow and help with cell regeneration.

Our bodies are designed to detoxify, but our environment is so laden with
chemicals that sometimes we build up harmful toxins and become chronically inflamed. The far-, mid-, and near-infrared light are designed to help relieve inflammationinspired conditions such as chronic lower back pain and rheumatoid arthritis.
BENEFICIAL TO AUTOIMMUNE SUFFERERS People with Crohn’s disease, Lyme disease, chronic pain and chronic fatigue have reported feeling better after infrared sessions. According to Ingraham, doctors
in Japan use it to treat heart conditions. Other conditions that respond positively to this therapy include cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, digestion issues and depression, she adds.
INCREASED SEROTONIN Infrared heats your body deeply and as a result, boosts levels of serotonin, the feel-good brain chemical that is effective in treating seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
“The high heat will make you feel rejuvenated, and each Inner Light private sauna comes with a selection of music and a tablet so you can watch Netflix or Hulu during your thirty-minute or one-hour session.”
DEEP BREATHS “Reducing stress should be number one on your list of priorities this year,” says Arianne O’Donnell

This injectable treatment helps to shrink fat under the chin, resulting in a more streamlined, youthful profile. Winter is the optimal time to do this, as scarves and sweaters can cover up temporary swelling and bruising.
RESURFACING OR FRACTIONAL LASERS LIKE PICOSURE These treatments eradicate skin damage in the form of brown spots, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles. Down time for this treatment is only a few days, as opposed to weeks with other laser treatments.

This is a helpful treatment for acne, rosacea and precancerous cells. This procedure does, however, have a strict fortyeight-hour sun avoidance rule.
FRAXEL
“Studies say we get so much blue light exposure from cell phones and computers, and just like UVA and UVB rays, blue light can penetrate the skin deeply and cause wrinkles, pigmentation, sagging and accelerated aging.”
“We focus a lot on lasers and resurfacing in winter due to their necessary downtime,” says Pucci. Results are immediate, but expect five days of downtime to accommodate swelling, redness and dryness.
TOTAL EYE 3-IN-1 RENEWAL THERAPY BY COLORESCIENCE
THE ERASER Commonly known as a vampire facial, this procedure involves drawing blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the plasmarich platelets (PRP), using an additive to enhance and form a matrix (PRFM), and applying this mixture onto freshly micro-needled skin for maximum absorption. PRFM is a newer technology that releases growth factors in the blood over seven days so you have a longer exposure for collagen remodeling in areas of volume loss. Six treatments give maximum results.
This treatment hydrates, lightens and brightens skin underneath the eyes and contains a mineral base of 35 SPF. “You’ll get an instant boost as it reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.”
LUMIVIVE BY SKINMEDICA The Damage Defense Serum by day protects skin from blue light and pollution, while the night Revitalize Repair Complex regenerates mitochondria, the cells that repair skin damage we are exposed to daily.

intensity, focused electromagnetic technology used for fat loss on abs and buttocks stimulates motor neurons in the muscle, stimulating the effects of 20,000 ab contractions, sit ups or squats in thirty minutes. It increases muscle in the area by 16 percent and decreases fat by 19 percent. This involves four treatments over two weeks, with toned results four to six weeks later. It’s a lunchtime procedure that’s intense but non-invasive.
COOLSCULPTING This popular technology for fat removal freezes and shrinks fat up to 25 percent, says Pucci. Together with healthy eating and regular exercise, it takes up to two months to see results. It can be done in conjunction with EmSculpt.

“This treatment is a one-and-done, and uses micro-needling and temperaturecontrolled radiofrequency energy to stimulate production of elastin and hyaluronic acid (which produce collagen), all building blocks of the skin,” says Lisa Topham. As she explains, it’s different from similar treatments because its handpiece has ten tiny needles that penetrate the skin 1/100 of an inch, allowing you to pinpoint the exact area to which you want to deliver energy. Whether your goal is skin tightening or fat removal, two different needles are used. It is a standalone procedure for the neck and lower face, though it can be used on arms, stomach, buttocks, thighs or knees. You’ll see results after three to six months, and it usually lasts from eighteen to twenty-four months. Expect about five days of downtime for possible swelling and bruising.

BTL ULTRA FEMME 360 For this vaginal rejuvenation treatment, a wandshaped applicator is inserted into the vagina, then emits radio frequency and ultrasound to stimulate more collagen to tighten the vaginal wall.

You’ll need three forty-five-minute treatments once a week, and there’s no downtime.

The bio-identical hormones used in this therapy come from plants and have a similar molecular makeup to naturally occurring hormones in the body, she explains. For the procedure, the doctor chooses a tailored combination of pellets that contain either estradiol, testosterone or progesterone to balance hormones and alleviate symptoms such as dry skin, low sex drive, brain fog, weight gain, interrupted sleep and more. After a local anesthetic is applied, a small incision is made in the hip area, and the pellets are inserted under the skin. BHRT has been around in creams, pills, patches and injections for years, but pellet therapy delivers hormones continuously into the bloodstream. This treatment and can last up to four months for women and seven months for men. greenwichmag.com

Fiveyear-olds who were careful became fifteen-year-olds who didn’t smoke, twenty-year-olds who didn’t drink, forty-year-olds who exercised, and so on. “Simply put, being careful and taking care of yourself can add thirty years to your life, and doing the opposite can take thirty years away,” he says.

STAVE OFF STRESS
FOCUS ON DOWNTIME
Figure out your favorite way to relax and rejuvenate. Some suggestions include yoga, prayer, meditation and practicing spirituality.
A recent study on physician burnout showed that having outlets outside of work to reduce stress, including socializing, was essential to improving quality of life.

FEED YOUR GUT “The future of medicine is in gut health, so it’s important to know that your gut microbiome—the flora in your digestive system—is filled with bacteria that can either keep you healthy or make you sick,” explains nutritionist Abby Greenspun of Westport. “The health of your digestive system is also responsible for brain health and your immune system, so in the new year—any time of year— focus on feeding the good gut bacteria with a diet full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds,” she says. While you can take a probiotic, “real food is always better.” Here are her must-dos for the year ahead:
1
Good bacteria feeds on fiber so make nuts, seeds, fruits, veggies and whole grains part of your daily diet.
2
Make fruits and veggies part of every meal. Check out Greenspun’s Pinterest page (search “Abby Greenspun nutrition”) for her favorite healthy recipes.
3
Be a role model for your family. Try to eat healthy, and with your kids as often as possible. Always look for whole foods or those with few ingredients, and avoid additives and added sweeteners.
4
Don’t be a short-order cook. Make one meal for everyone. This is how kids get used to eating a variety of foods. Some meal ideas include:
BREAKFAST
[If you tend to skip this meal], try protein bars (Greenspun likes Lara or RX bars) or a handful of nuts.
SNACKS
Protein-packed like roasted chick peas, apples or bananas with nut butter, a quesadilla on a whole wheat tortilla.
DINNER
Salad with grilled chicken, fish and roasted veggies, a turkey avocado burger, spaghetti squash with turkey meatballs. »

OH, BABY! D
R. JOSHUA HURWITZ,
a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at RMA of Connecticut, with offices in Norwalk and Stamford, knows how to be proactive about fertility. Here’s his checklist if you’re thinking about growing your family.
ATTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT “A moderate weight is ideal for pregnancy,” Dr. Hurwitz says. Being underweight means the baby may not get enough nutrients, and being overweight can hamper fertility and increase the chance of miscarriage and gestational diabetes. Aim for a body mass index of 19 to 26.
TAKE PRENATAL VITAMINS Folic acid, which can prevent birth defects, is most important before conception. Whether
over-the-counter or prescription, vitamins should include iron, Vitamin D, calcium and folic acid.

run in your family. Common ones include cystic fibrosis, SMA, Fragile-X, thalassemia and sickle cell disease trait. The same is true for familial breast, ovarian and colon cancers.
GET THE FLU SHOT The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends the flu shot for anyone trying to conceive.
DON’T SMOKE Cigarette and marijuana smoke (even second-hand) strongly decreases sperm count and increases pregnancy complications for women.
DECREASE ALCOHOL INTAKE
Use ovulation tracker apps to learn when your most optimal fertile times are.
Clean healthy living for both the male and female gives you your best shot at conceiving.
EVALUATE MEDS
FORMULATE A PLAN
Talk to your doctors about medicines you’re taking and create a pregnancyfriendly regimen.

If you’re under thirtyfive and don’t become pregnant after six to twelve months, see a doctor. For patients thirty-five and older, check in with your doctor after six months.
MAN UP “Up to 80 percent of men don’t visit a doctor until convinced by a spouse or partner.” Dr. Steven V. Kardos, a Fairfield-based urologist with the Northeast Medical Group at Yale New Haven Health, says that many men’s health issues are common but go untreated. “As urologists, we often see patients for erectile dysfunction, yet they often have other underlying issues including cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes,” he says. Education, outreach and direction are critical for men to understand and address health risks.

JAY D’ORSO, an internal medicine specialist with Ridgefield Primary Care, a family practice. According to Dr. D’Orso, all children should eat three healthy meals a day with fruit and vegetables, be active every day, and follow a doctor’s recommended well-child visit schedule to ensure they’re current with immunizations, on track for growth and development, and having regular psycho-social and safety counseling. Optimizing a child’s sleep and stress management is also key to good health. Here’s why.
QUALITY OF SLEEP STRESS MANAGEMENT According to the CDC, 58 percent of middle school kids, and 73 percent of high school students, aren’t getting enough sleep. Regular sleep deprivation can lead to irritability, difficulty concentrating, high blood pressure, obesity, headaches and depression. To ensure quality slumber, do the following:
Kids are stressed out these days, and if this pressure is intense and long-lasting, it can disrupt their sleep, affect healthy eating habits, and lead to depression and physical ailments like diabetes and high blood pressure. What can you do?

Turn off electronic devices thirty to sixty minutes before sleeping. Research shows that the UV light interferes with neuro-hormones that regulate circadian rhythms, which determine sleep and wake cycles and quality of sleep.

Create a safe space to talk to your child about what might be causing stress.

s we get older, we’re more susceptible to infection and chronic illness, which come from a combination of genetics and how one lives his or her life,” says DR. DONNA PHANUMAS, a geriatrician with Greenwich Hospital’s Center for Healthy Aging. No matter your age, there are positive steps you can take towards optimal health. Here is her top advice: “
Because women are prone to osteoporosis, they should incorporate dairy into their diet.
ADOPT HEALTHY HABITS If you’re on medication for a condition, use it in conjunction with healthy habits. For patients with high blood pressure, for
example, follow a low-salt diet.

EXERCISE Obesity increases the risk of endometrial cancer, and studies show that regular exercise can decrease the risk of colon and breast cancers. The American Cancer Society recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (brisk walking), or seventy-five minutes of vigorous exercise a week (running or spinning), at minimum. Spreading activity out during the week is preferable.
GET YOUR SHOTS Because immunity wanes, stay up-todate on all your shots, including the flu and shingles vaccines. Diabetics, smokers and those with respiratory illnesses should also get the pneumonia vaccine.
DIET Staying at a moderate weight can reduce the risk of endometrial, breast and pancreatic cancers. Reduce intake of processed foods and red meat (red meat has been linked to colon cancer). Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and

foods loaded with fiber.
TOBACCO Tobacco exposure is related to one in five deaths in the U.S. Oral, esophageal and bladder cancers have all been linked to smoking. Vaping smoke contains chemicals, including known carcinogens.
ALCOHOL It has been shown to increase your risk of breast, throat, esophageal and liver cancers.
SCREENINGS It is crucial to maintain a regular schedule of Pap smears, pelvic exams, mammograms and colonoscopies. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the U.S. Because of a recent uptrend in patients younger than fifty-five who were diagnosed with colorectal cancer,
the American Cancer Society now recommends colonoscopies starting at age forty-five.
HPV AND ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES Since some HPV viruses can cause cervical cancer and genital warts, Gardasil 9, the HPV vaccine, was recently approved for men and women up to age forty-five (up from prior recommendations of ages nine to twentysix). Ovarian cancer often presents without symptoms but women who have taken oral contraceptive pills have at least a 30 percent lower risk of developing ovarian cancer, with the protective effects extending past the time they were on the pill.

The former manufacturing district of SoHo (South of Houston Street) is synonymous with trendy and cool; but if you’re a frequent visitor, you might feel like you’ve been there, done that. Here are a few suggestions to inspire even the most jaded among us.

This chic high-rise feels like a boutique hotel. Each floor houses only twelve guest rooms. So even the smallest rooms have more space than you’d expect to find in SoHo. Bringing the family? There are more two-bedroom suites here than in any other hotel in the city. Just recently Forbes gave it a fivestar rating to go with its AAA five-diamond award. It is the only SoHo hotel with both. The rooms aren’t the only upside surprise; the bi-level spa is quite luxurious. It features the city’s only real Turkish hammam (an ancient bathing ritual that’s a combination fullbody scrub and a
steam). The Dominick is also home to the only outdoor pool in SoHo, as well as deep soaking tubs and floor-to-ceiling city views from most guest rooms. Winter rates start at $375 per night.

ENVOY HOTEL
The all-glass Envoy Hotel sits across the water from Boston’s most famous historic sites. The etching on the sidewalk at the entrance sums up the hotel, and the area; it says “This Way Forward.” The room interiors are as sleek as the hotel’s exterior; all of the furnishings are custom-made. However, not everything is brand new. The designers used plenty of reclaimed wood and even fashioned the TV stands from repurposed
bicycle frames. The televisions double as digital concierges, which means guests can enjoy music through Pandora, login to Hulu or Netflix, or view one of over 1,000 movies on Crackle. The real star of the property, though, is the rooftop bar. Yes, a rooftop bar is de rigueur in many cities, but how about one with heated igloos? That’s serious innovation. Each igloo holds ten guests and the bar serves up locally distilled spirits and specialty coffee drinks to keep everyone toasty. Rates start at $284 per night.

ROW 34
Seafood and craft beer are staples of the Boston diet. The upscale version of both is Row 34, located in a neighborhood that’s part of the Seaport District. This new venture by Chef Jeremy Seawall (of Island Creek Oyster Bar fame) pairs fresh-off-the-boat oysters with small-batch craft beers from around the world. He’s bringing new seafood trends to Boston with dishes like seafood charcuterie, a dish somewhere between sushi and antipasti. As for the lobsters, of course he’s “got a guy,” his cousin, who fishes for them off the coast of Maine.

DO THIS While we can’t get you into one of Harvard’s famed super-secret social clubs, we may have
the next best thing— the once-a-month, invitation-only chef’s dinner called 140 Supper Club. Think speakeasy meets four-star restaurant. The
entrance is down a century-old staircase at the Fairmont. There’s no signage and even if you stumble on it, you won’t be admitted without knowing the
password. There is only enough room for thirty guests, and the food and themes change. The dinners are always hosted by Fairmont’s executive chef, Laurent Poulain,

LINE DC
The new hotel opened in a 110-year-old neoclassical church in Adams Morgan. In the lobby church organ pipes are part of a grand chandelier and guests can peek in on a radio station that broadcasts from the hotel. There are three eateries, two bars and a coffee shop. Spoken English is the name of one of the restaurants. It serves streetstyle food in a standing-room-only environment (note that “game-focused restaurant” means it serves tiny birds, not
that it shows football on television). If you’re looking for an eating adventure, this could be your place. The 220 guest

and in-room reading material is sourced from the nearby Idle Time Books. Winter rates start at $211 per night.

t’s hard to pinpoint the coolest area of D.C.; it depends on who you ask. Middle-aged hipsters (if they can be called that) point to Adams Morgan. But the younger set may consider it the Facebook of neighborhoods— somewhat passé. Even the Washington Post recently asked: “Is Adams Morgan past its prime?” The opening of the new LINE DC would argue that it’s not. Another area gunning for hippest hood is Shaw, which sits north of the White House and south of Adams Morgan. The neighborhood is home to the 1910 Howard Theatre, where jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington once played. In recent years, commercial spaces, which stood empty for years, have been converted and offered at affordable rents, drawing new residents and young chefs, making Shaw a goto dining destination.

THE HAYADAMS
Let’s face it—the cool kids don’t care about a good turn-down service, but we do. The Hay-Adams is decidedly not hip, but it is iconic and has the best views of any hotel in the city. The hotel is less than two miles from Shaw (so you can still get your hip fix). The restaurant, the Lafayette, offers complimentary reading glasses to guests who may have forgotten theirs. And should you borrow one of the hotel’s loaner bicycles to tool around town, you’ll also get helmets and maps. So sensible. And here you’re in good company: The Obamas were guests until they moved into the White House. All 145 guest rooms have been updated with stately décor, the bathrooms are marble and the elegant service makes every guest feel like a president. Rates start at $339 per night.
It’s not a secret, but it’s the hottest ticket in town. When the National Museum of African American History and Culture opened in September 2016, the website selling tickets crashed. Demand for tickets is still so high that as of this writing, advance tickets had been sold out for the next four months. Go to nmaahc.si.edu/ visit/passes to learn about same-day ticket releases and walk-up options. This is the only national museum dedicated to telling the story of African Americans. There are eight levels to the museum; a visit below ground is brutally raw, with displays of the simple items like glass beads and metal bands that colonizers would use to trade for slaves. The aboveground floors are filled with exhibits documenting black contributions to all aspects of American culture, including education, business, sports and the arts (Chuck Berry’s cherry red convertible has a place of honor). In each corner there are reminders of the resistance and activism that have been, and continue to be a part of the African American experience.

The Dabney Cellar
One of the hottest new wine bars in Shaw is in one of the best restaurants in the area, so it’s a natural choice. The Dabney Cellar is a thirty-seat drinking den in the basement of Chef Jeremiah Langhorne’s restaurant of the same name. The entrance is hidden and you won’t find a sign—if you don’t know, you don’t know. The chef most recently helmed the kitchen at McCrady’s in Charleston, so you can already guess how good the food is. The Cellar is all about keeping the food simple and the wine glasses full. Order the buttermilk bacon biscuits or toast topped with buttered lobster. »

Fishtown

FOOD NETWORK
erhaps no other city suffers from such tired stereotypes as Philly; just like their beloved Eagles, the city has been sorely underestimated. It’s the only city in the country that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the second largest city on the East Coast, but somehow it’s never gotten the respect it deserves (except when it was our capital in the 1790s). Until now. The tiny neighborhood of Fishtown is as trendy as it gets. Just four miles up the river from City Center, it’s been called the Hottest Zip Code in the Country by Forbes magazine. It’s the lightning-in-a-bottle alchemy that makes a gritty neighborhood like Fishtown the coolest place to be. greenwichmag.com

KIMPTON HOTEL MONACO
The closest hotel you can get to Fishtown with a concierge is the Kimpton Hotel Monaco. It’s still very trendy, just not “custom-made sonophonic console” trendy. The Monaco is a boutique hotel with big hotel amenities like valet laundry and 24-hour in-room dining. Guests can hop on a loaner bike to explore the city and return each night to a hosted wine hour in the lobby. The Monaco is just two miles south of Fishtown and a block away from the Liberty Bell, just in case you’ve never seen it. Rates start at $224 per night.
A repurposed whiskey factory with only four guest rooms and no front desk, Wm. Mulherin’s Sons walked off with the Hottest New Hotel award from USA Today last year. How did it beat out the fancy big boys? It’s not the view; it is jarringly close to the El train—an elevated train that runs all night during the weekend. It’s also not the butler service; there isn’t any. Guests check in downstairs at the restaurant of the same name. You’ll arrive to a clean room but won’t see a hotel maid unless you stay for longer than a week; then a complimentary cleaning is included. No standing in line to check out, just leave the key on your kitchen island. The rooms are each uniquely decorated with amenities like vintage Persian rugs, rainfall showers and Sferra linens. The designers incorporated some of the existing industrial pieces into the rooms; in one an elevator shaft is a skylight and in another there’s an original Fairbanks No. 5 Platform Scale. A rarity in boutique hotels, each of the four rooms also has a washer and dryer. Book Room One for the custom-made sonophonic console (basically a 1970s-style stereo cabinet) and vintage vinyl collection (also known as records), Rooms Two or Three for the full-sized kitchens (the others are kitchenettes) or Room Four for the antique clawfoot tub. Rates start at $294 per night, if you prepay and forgo the chance to cancel; otherwise rates start at $335 per night.

Suraya
Drop a pin anywhere on a map of Fishtown and you’ll find experimental cuisine. To cover both the “hip” and “we promise it’s good” marks we recommend Suraya, specializing in Middle Eastern cuisine. It’s a market, it’s a café; it’s an outdoor garden. Though it’s new, it has the pedigree of having been created by Nathalie Richan and Roland Kassis of Café La Maude, and Greg Root and Nick Kennedy of Root restaurant. Philadelphia magazine calls it the Best New Restaurant of 2018, and it’s the blend of Fishtown, Americana and Beirut that makes it a perfect fit in this electrically charged food scene.
DO THIS You can’t spend time in Fishtown without spending time at Johnny Brenda’s, or JB’s to the locals. Though it serves food, JB’s is really
